Hi everyone hope you are all well. Day 2 of the school holidays and everyone has survived (will countdown til schools back in this big brother meets Zombie film mode I think lol)

Anyway Im exhausted so just a quick outfit post today, we have been out most of the day from 10 this morning to a museaum, the park then the beach. I really love where I live and try to make the most of the fact we have the countryside on our doorstep and the beach 20 minutes away. But boy fresh air is exhausting!

So anyway to stop myself from getting in the jeans and tshirt rut I decided the only thing that would help was a dress and high boots! Maybe not practical for running around after kids (was especially funny trying to run after Jasmine in the park in these boots- not lol)

Pretty muted colourwise: Ditsy print gysy style dress- bargain 99p ebay-yayay, plain black long sleeve tshirt under and black leggings...teamed with my brown boots from yesterday (Im so boring with my shoes at the minute I have too many but tend to pick up the last thing I wore...need to set myself a challenge on this I think). Long silver heart pendant which is old and battered as when I used to wear it to work and it always clanged off my desk when I sat down...but I think its battered state adds to its charm, some double layered diamonte heart earrings (tried to get a pic of thes but camera wasnt playing) and because I have to have a butterfly somewhere on me at all times (well except for the tattoo of one I have on my shoulder) a buttefly clip in my messed up hair. Please excuse the staet of my horrible carpet its awful and getting replaced soon! I dont live in a pigsty really and will try to get some pics done tomorrow in my lovely decorated downstairs lol

Right off to plan tomorrows day out *yawn*



















PS I will leave you with a pic of Jasmine on Muffin the Mule- just cause shes too cute not to brighten up anyones day! (even if she has a slightly demonic look in her red eyes lol)

She's my Tallahassee Lassie, down in F.L.A........

Happy Monday everyone!

First day of the half term school holidays here. Its 12 mid day and we have already been on a bike ride and watched (too many) episodes of Spongebob Squarepants (oops).

Anyway school hols need pratical clothing the kind that you dont mind getting grubby when you are trecking over freezing, sodden fields with 3 kids on their bikes (like this morning)...however I dont want to be living in jeans all week so Im going to have to be creative.

But today I have reverted to the usual uniform of jeans, shirt and boots (as I had literally 5 minutes to get dressed this monrning and seeing as Jamie went to work at 6.30 I sure as hell wasnt going to get dressed before he went so had to fit it in somehow...luckily I have 2 older kids who can be called upon (bribed) into watching their sister for a few minutes while mummy makes herself look like like a fairytale monster)..skinny flare jeans M and S via ebay, checked shirt Peacocks online sale, boots Clarks via ebay (I changed these however when we went out into old fake uggs for obvious reasons so kinda cheating here lol) long butterfly necklace- next gifted, stack of wooden bangles- various- trying not to let my 3 year old pinch these as she invairably does and I spend half the night looking for them usually to be found under the sofa or behind the tv.... Sorry for my moody face today this was the millionth picture I had taken trying to get a good shot and I have red eye but who cares!...Im getting there but Im no David Bailey yet!


Hope you all have a pleasant Monday! x

Happiness hit her like a train on a track

Happy Valentines Day everyone!





We dont "do" Valentines (which I wont go into here! lol) but hope you all had a pleasant day.

Dressed so casually today theres no point in having a pic but thought I would share my recent ebay purchase...a lovely summer dress with what was described as a "seagull print" but I think it looks much more like a flock of swallows....bargain-agogo at 3.50 inclusive of postage- cant wait to get it! Hopefuly we will get a summer this year!

I see a red door and I want it painted black, no colours anymore I want them to turn black

Happy Saturday all! Wet and miserable day here. Eldest son is having friends over so my living room will be filled with 12 year old boys squabbling over xbox games, so I am planning a lovely afternoon by myself rearranging my wardrobe (ie hiding from all of them).

Title of this post is lyrics from Rolling Stones Paint it black...on those random quizzes you get on facebook and the like "what song are you" I always end up with this one...says a lot about me then! Music features as a big part of my life and I mostly walk around singing some random track to myself...I would much rather have my mp3 player on than the tv to fill the background with noise

Ok to todays outfit. I thought since I was in the house all day I may as well try out the new ebay bargain for shortness factor...So far its not too bad but Im wondering if the shape is too young for me? It reminds me of a ballet skirt with its shape so thought I would run with that and teamed it with a mock wrap tshirt that kind of looks like a ballet top...ok maybe not...maybe I just picked up the first thing that came to hand? Thick black tights accompany the outfit and my white pumps bought from Matalan last year and still going strong.... Silver butterfly necklace (looks gold in the pic but its a blingy diamond silver) and earrings as standard for me! What do you think?

I apologise for the random setting of the pics on here I still havent figured out what Im doing! Oh and excuse the broken door thats another job that needs doing round here.......Also I look like I have really dodgy make up on here but I dont it must be the lighting....

Whats everyone up to today?

Ok Im not too sure how to do this with all the pics Im not the most technical minded girl (who is eh?)

Anyway not so much of an outfit post today as Friday is my cleaning day (well everyday is my cleaning day but Friday I do all the big stuff!)...Im only here due to one word...avoidence! lol just wearing blue jeggings, butterfly vest long stripey cardi and ankle boots when I go out. So pretty boring but functional really. Above is a pic of me to show off my new hair colour (sorry it should come with a health warning! I have very little make up on and I was up at 5.30!!) Gone red but not as red as I wanted- I wanted proper red! Anyway Im growing use to it, even if I do need a haircut.

Thought I would share a pic of my recent ebay purchases...Im a bit obsessed with ebay at the minute, who doesnt love bargain hunting whilst sitting in the comfort of your own home? And my recent selling stint has given me some healthy sums in my paypal account (and paypal money isnt like real money is it til its transferred over to the bank- thats my excuse and Im sticking to it!)

Saw this skirt at the last minute no one had bid one it and I won it for the princley sum of 99p! Its a tad short though so not sure what to do with it... and my lovely new pearl necklace again another 99p last mintue buy....love ebay!

I read the news today oh boy..... About a lucky man who made the grade

Well hello and welcome to my blog! Inspired lovely member's of MSE fashion forum I have decided to create my own blog to diary my random thought's, mood's and possibly fears I experience day to day. Clothes and shoes will feature heavily in this blog so if thats not your thing look away now!

Ok so to begin heres some random pics of the last time we went to the beach and did a bit of "wave watching". Theres something about the sea that makes me feel very small and insignificant but also very much alive...anyway enough about that mushy stuff....
